The glycerophospholipids phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)
account for greater than 50% of the total phospholipid species in eukaryotic membranes and …

Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid with dimeric structure, carrying four acyl groups and
two negative charges. It is exclusively found in bacterial and mitochondrial membranes …

Extensively revised, reorganized, and expanded, the third edition of the industry standard,
The Lipid Handbook reflects many of the changes in lipid science and technology that have …

Due to its genetic tractability and increasing wealth of accessible data, the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model system of choice for the study of the genetics …

We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …

Phospholipids are emerging as novel second messengers in plant cells. They are rapidly
formed in response to a variety of stimuli via the activation of lipid kinases or …

Fatty acids are essential compounds in the cell. Since the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
does not feed typically on fatty acids, cellular function and growth relies on endogenous …

Mg 2+-dependent phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase (3-sn-phosphatidate phosphohydrolase,
EC 3.1. 3.4) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of PA to yield diacylglycerol and P i. In this …

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a quantitatively minor membrane phospholipid that is
synthesized by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In this review we focus on genes and …

Recent research has provided an abundance of new information on membrane
biochemistry. Now more than ever, it is essential to update our current understanding of …
